Thanks to Funky and Noob, interesting read! 1st show 11/3/96, and only 2 festivals (Big Cypress and 8) under my belt, I'm only fortunate to have seen them a few times each year since (although I never miss the solo band stuff in SoCal, including Pork Tornado). I lament missing the festivals I COULD have attended, but I so enjoy reading the breakdown of the music from Lemonwheel, as I devour all the other reviews on Phish.net anytime they are out on tour. I so get the "attendance bias", as I GOT them my 1st show the same way I got the Dead 1st time in 1980 at a live show, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate the diligent and thoughtful essays from obviously fervent phans whether they attended or not. Keep up the great work/reviews, Thanks.
